An amusing observation about high gas prices:

Libs have long been in favor of higher gas prices via taxation (see: Charlie Rangel). They thought that if they could make gas prohibitively expensive it would force the electorate, and thus the political machine, to force alternative fuels into the mainstream.

Now higher gas prices are with us, and opening the coastline for more drilling--formerly a 3rd rail--is all the rage. Heh.

A silver lining, if there is such a thing.
